新年快乐 Happy Chinese New Year!

It’s the year of the OX, an animal that symbolises strength & determination.
We would normally decorate our library with our Chinese dragon and have a ‘Chinese’ themed lunch – maybe you could do something at home? …
….drawing, decoration, make / eat Chinese food – share your photos with us if you do!
